Episode 131 - Pushing Your Luck Feat. Spots and Can't Stop

Today we consider the push your luck mechanic in board games, highlighting Can't Stop and Spots for short reviews. In the second half we touch on a bunch of games that stick out to us as examples of what push your luck is, what it's not, when it works, and when... it does not. Please silence your cell phones and quiet small children, because the feature podcast is about to begin.
